● The roofer must add roofing tar to cover exposed nail heads. A few nail heads will be inevitably exposed on ridge cap shingles and elsewhere.

Holes will be left in shingles after these boards are removed. The holes must be covered with roofing tar.
● Roofers should clean up after themselves daily, throwing all waste materials into the dumpster you have on site.
